Letter urging payment of interest on a debt TM 9545Philadelphia (Arsinoites)ca. 300

A fragmentary private letter from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome, around AD 300. The writer complains of having received no money for a whole year, from Mesore to Mesore, and urges the recipient not to neglect supplying certain items and paying interest on a debt, involving a man named Pesiris; soldiers are also mentioned.

In English machine translation

The beginning is lost and many lines are only partly legible, so the exact relationship between the parties and the debt is unclear.
